“You should never say anything to a woman that even remotely suggests you think she's pregnant unless you can see an actual baby emerging from her at that moment.”

1. It's happened on more than one occasion, you'll be standing in line, someone engages you in a conversation or you overhear one, and you are guilty of what they are talking about. For example, you leave your car running, jump out to use the ATM, and someone comes up from behind complaining about people who leave their cars running because it's bad for the environment. Or you are in line at the express lane (6 items only) someone starts talking about how some people take advantage and have more than 6 items. You look at your cart and you mistakenly, or not, have 7 or 8 items. What do you or have you done?
